Title of the Thesis: Freedom of information rights to obtaining information on salaries and bonuses of employees in public administration bodies This thesis aims to analyse the theoretical framework of the freedom of information laws in the Czech republic, with a particular focus on obtaining information about salaries, wages, and benefits of public administration employees, and its subsequent comparison with the practice. The goal of this thesis is not only to summarise the development of jurisprudence concerning the freedom of information laws up to this day, which will be dealt with in chapter II, as well as in the relevant parts of chapter III.1 and 2 respectively, dealing with the right to privacy and information self-determination. More importantly, this thesis aims to offer a possible solution to the conflict between, on the one hand, the right to obtain relevant information pursuant to the freedom of information laws, and, on the other hand, the right to privacy and information self-determination, using the proportionality test described in chapter III.4. In doing so, this thesis offers a framework that has not yet been used in the relevant literature. Following a short summary, the thesis introduces the sources of the freedom of information laws relevant to the Czech legal system in order...

The Dissertation sets out the results of an evaluation of certain aspects of the Commonwealth of Australia's Freedom of Information Legislation and proposals to introduce a Freedom of Information Law in Sri Lanka. The major purpose of the study was: (i) to evaluate whether the Commonwealth FOI Act has achieved the objects of Parliament - whether members of the public could have a free access to government information subject to important exemptions. (ii) whether a FOI regime should be introduced to Sri Lanka In conducting my research, I devoted three chapters to FOI in Australia including the development of the legislation. I analysed key components of the legislation and researched to what extent the FOI Act has achieved its objects. I devoted two chapters towards the concept of transparency of government in Sri Lanka, the attitude of the Courts towards the concept of the right to information and whether Sri Lanka needs a Freedom of Information Act. In the last two chapters, I have devoted a chapter each to the concept of translocation of laws and about an ideal FOI Act for Sri Lanka, which is an adaptation of the Australian Act. The individual components of the methodology incorporated: (i) a literature survey of the Commonwealth FOI Act, Freedom of Information in the United Nations and in the USA; and Sweden, Canada and New Zealand; (ii) a literature survey concerning the transparency of government in Sri Lanka (ii) interviews with a cross section Commonwealth FOI administrators and key politicians, lawyers and a cross section of members of the press and public in Sri Lanka; and (iv) research of the Australian FOI legislation The empirical data present an analysis of key features of the Commonwealth FOI Act with particular attention to exemption clauses. I have recommended some amendments to the FOI Act in view of the Commonwealth Government's policy of outsourcing some of its activities and the creation of a position of FOI Commissioner. Finally my research indicates that Sri Lanka needs Freedom of Information legislation to meet the challenges facing a developing country that is endeavoring to reach 'newly developed status' early in the new millennium. Furthermore, international lenders and donors are now requiring that developing countries like Sri Lanka seeking aid, should show more transparency in its activities. I have drafted a Freedom of Jiformation Bill for Sri Lanka. I have based the draft on the Australian law adapted to suit the local conditions in Sri Lanka, which is in Appendix "G".

No pós-positivismo jurídico a negociação coletiva não pode ser encarada de maneira isolada o que significa a irradiação dos efeitos do princípio da boa-fé objetiva sobre a negociação principalmente o reconhecimento da produção de deveres jurídicos anexos como é o caso do dever de informação que impõe a obrigação mútua para as partes negociantes prestarem as informações solicitadas sempre que pertinentes ao objeto da negociação coletiva. O objetivo central do presente trabalho é evidenciar o reconhecimento do direito de informação na negociação coletiva como decorrência da aplicação do princípio da boa-fé objetiva. Para o alcance desse objetivo adotou-se o método indutivo com enfoque predominante na pesquisa bibliográfica sendo que inicialmente será feito o delineamento dos pressupostos teóricos relacionados à perspectiva da autonomia privada coletiva e do princípio da boa-fé objetiva que serão constantemente visitados no decorrer do trabalho. Feito isso o raciocínio será manifestado no sentido de se reconhecer que a boa-fé objetiva incide sobre a negociação coletiva inclusive seus deveres anexos caso do direito de informação. Por fim o fenômeno será avaliado globalmente investigando seus aspectos jurídicos mais importantes e correlacionando-os com a perspectiva central do trabalho. / Salvador

The master thesis's topic are obstructions connected with the execution of the right to information, both by obligated entities as well as by information requestors. The right to information is a political right anchored in the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms and also in the international contracts stipulating human rights. Its definition is relatively wide, but not unlimited, because next to it from constitutional order flow other rights, freedoms or legitimate national interests, with which the right to information can be in conflict. In particular, it is concerning the law on protecting privacy or the national interest for protecting secret information, whose disclosure could endanger the national safety. The right to information can collide with other rights, freedoms or interests, therefore can be rightfully restricted and it is possible not to provide the requested information. However, such a restriction has to be anchored in the law and must be proportional and essential to the protection of rights and freedom of others, national safety, public safety, protection of public health and morals.in a democratic society. In reality, the right to information is restricted also for reasons unforeseen by the law. The right to information is nonetheless incorrectly executed even in cases of some...
